"Splitting up the brackets gives us a better distribution of this ability power and should make for more enjoyable matches because you will be matched up with other players that are closer to your ability power level. We wanted max level characters to play against other max level characters to prevent them from stat stomping characters that haven’t entered their end game gearing progression yet."

Doing something about premade groups against a random team would also help with matching up players. A premade team could play a premade team. That would be a good match up.
and the Force beat generic Swords and Magic any day. 8/26/14 That was my old signature but after RotHC, I went back to superheroes and swords and magic. Now waiting on Dragon Age and a SWTOR story expac for my Bioware fix 7/30/15 Returned for KotFE. Finally, a story expac.

They're trying to balance PvP. Oh BioWare, you so crazy.

give us your feedback in the PvP forums so we can squash bugs and tweak the systems based on your input
We've been doing that since the game launched. You've just chose to ignore it or EA tells you to ignore it.
I didn't think anything could top the stupidity of no new group content in Fallen Empire...

...then Level Sync happened.

Since you're on the subject of PvP.... let's talk about a few things that I'm sure bug everyone except those dishing it out..

CHAIN STUNS.

I'm not the biggest fan of warzones.. they CAN be fun sometimes, but more often than not, I'm finding myself doing this routine.

fight some, get stunned, purge stun, stunned again instantly. Then I'm forced to stand there unable to do anything and I die. this sucks.

warzones are not the reason I signed up on a PVP server anyway... I'm in this for the OPEN WORLD PVP...

Why isn't there any kind of reward for this? ..not that it matters, republic tears are plenty reward... However, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has played a PVP based game in which you're able to take space and keep it. SWG had it, Eve has it, hell.. even WoW has it afaik..

All that "contested area" out there should be made available to be CAPTURED by a guild to hold and keep and defend.

I say we should be able to approach an area as a guild, and enter with INTENT TO INVADE, creating an instance in which at least a full ops group must come together and take the building or land or whatever it is. I think this would add something to this game that's an obvious lack.

Also it would be nice if I could send mail to the entire guild by mailing the guild... we need better guild management.

Um, yeah, I know. The point is that there was a metric crap ton of feedback on how awful it was, not to mention obviously bugged (incorrect resolve amount, clicking off to trigger effect), and yet nothing was done for months. The question of whether community feedback will be more valued in the future is a valid one.
A classic sig that should not be lost:

It makes me wonder if anyone there even plays PvP. I spend so much time in PvP being stunned over and over and over again. It's not working as intended guys. The game is unplayable.

If I didn't get such good XP from WarZones I would never play them. Ever. They are a total joke.

When we care for others our own strength to live increases. When we help people expand their state of life, our lives also expand. Actions to benefit others are not separate from actions to benefit oneself.

....and nothing changed for the better.

And really, BW? How you completely ignored your own feedback threads is too fresh in memory for a BS comment like this:
Quote:
We want to hear your thoughts on how these changes are affecting you.
I read through every feedback thread and nothing you have done since has been in correlation with the feedback you were given.
